Hey ladies, random question. What doc do you go to every year for an annual check up? Your primary care or OBGYN? I've always gone to my primary care doc prior to my son because I never had an OB before getting pregnant. Just curious! Thanks!

For my annual physical and general health care, my primary care physician (PCP). For reproductive and breast care, my gynecologist, who happens to also be my obstetrician. Though your PCP can also handle this - I just like going to a specialist in the field. Both annual checkups are routine preventive maintenance and covered by insurance.

I didn't go to a primary for a long time..actually I stopped seeing a regular doctor after I stopped going to my pediatrician and just saw my obgyn doctor for annual check ups. Now I feel like I have some other health issues going on that should get checked out so I'm seeing a primary doctor this month for the first time. But I still plan to go to the gyno for regular check ups.
